Milwaukee, wave, caused by the displace-

covered with people and swept them into the
slip. Three persons were killed and many
injured fatally A Milwaukee dispatch says
of the unfortunate affair:
The cause Of the accident is not fully deter
mined. Some eighty people were ON II staging
or runway over the dock of the Northwestern
Fuel Company when the huge vessel made her
plunge as the last block was knocked away. A
great wave was caused by the displacement of
water and through the wall of spray the plat
form was seen to lift and then crash down upon
the docks below, kburying many Of the people
beneath the fallen timbers manning, mang-

The immense wave swept up on the dock ten
or twelve feet striking with terrific force
against the coal sheds, and throwing many
people into the water. Fortunately all were
rescued without serious injury.

LOW Gold IS Exported.

Tae process CT shipping gold across the
ocean is thus described by the Boston Com
mcrcicl Bulletin:
Each keg contains $4,000 in clear gold
1t is from the Bank of America, at New
York, that most Of the gold is shipped from
that city. The foreign steamships sailing
from this city now carry little or no gold,
although the reverse was the case years ago.
The shipments of gold are not generally ON
the banks account. At first glance per-
sons might well suppose that when the de-
mand arises for gold to send abroad the
shipper would only have to send in his or
der Tor his hundreds of thousands to the
sub-treasury, where millions of specie are on
depOsil But there are sufficient reasons
why this plan will not work. The sub
treasury can pay out its coin only to credit
ors Of the Government. With the Bank OF
America the associated banks keep on de-
post constantly an enormous sum of gold,
sometimes amounting TO $l0000,00O. TO
the members of the bank association the
Bank of America ISSUES It's own certificates
against these deposits, redeemable on de-
mand. So, when there is occasion for max
ing "a gold shipment, the coin is prepared
for that purpose il the rear office of that
bank; here it. is bagged ard kegged and
made ready for shipment. Kegs in which
gold is packed-"specie kegs" as they are
called-are made OF extra hard wood. They
mus! nave an extra iron hoop. Specie Is
not thrown loosely into Il keg, nor, upon
the other haud, is il carefully
wrapped in tissue paper aud piled
up one cola upon another. The keg
serves only as = protection for canvas bags,
into which the gold is placed in the ordi-
narv hit-end-ml-s fashion Of pennies i'll
man's pocket. Into each bsg go 50 000, and
ten bags fill keg in the interest of Sc
curity each keg is treated to whas is tecfnl-
cally known among the shippers as the red
taping" process At each end of the lleg III
the projecting rim Of the slaves above the
| head, are bored four holes at equidistant ia
tervals. A piece Of red tape is run through
! these holes, crossing on the head Of the key,
and the ends finally meet in the center. AT
the point OF meeting the tapo is sealed TO
the kegs head by wax bearing the stamp Of
the shipper. Gold crosses the ocean very
much as does every other kind of freight,
without any special looking after The
average rate of insurance Is abont 81 600 on
shipment of 81 600. There are ship
pers who do not insure. Having to ship
81, 100000, they give it in equal parts to
half dozen different vessels. 1t is Il strict
rule with some firms never TO trust more
than $250,000 at n time on any one ship: a
certain party furnishes all the kegs for gold
and packs them. The man who does this Is
monopolist in his way. Shippers of large
amounts always lose few dollars by abra-
sion, but not exceeding sixteen onces on a
million-dollar shipment. The only protec
ton to be found against abrasion lies in the
shipment Of gold in bars instead of coin.
Gold bars are not readily obtained.

through which they pay out or receive

Congressman can check upon the bank OF
the Capitol to the extent of their deposit or
their salary, but they can not check out the
money before it is earned. Some of them
do not draw any money till the end OF the
year, and take their whole $1,000 at once.
Others check out their pay every month,
and others live from hand to mouth and
come III regularly and draw their SO every
day. Some Of the wealthiev members keep
thousands OF dollars here on deposit, and
there was a member not long ago who kept
as much as $50, 900 in the bank here. 4
